Hurricanes Are Getting Stronger, Here’s What Scientists Are Saying

Hurricane Sandy (2012) 

You might remember the destruction that Hurricane Sandy caused. Sandy affected the Caribbean, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeastern United States, causing widespread destruction, particularly in New York and New Jersey. And it wasn’t a typical hurricane, either. 

According to World Vision, “While technically a hurricane when it made landfall, Hurricane Sandy is often called “Superstorm Sandy” because of its convergence of multiple weather systems, exceeding 900 miles in diameter.” It caused roughly $70 billion in damage, causing millions of people to lose power thanks to the storm (World Vision).
